Submission of Darwin Aboriginal Rights Coalition

The Darwin Aboriginal Rights Coalition (DARC) is appreciative of the opportunity to report to the Northern Territory Emergency Response Review. DARC is a community group of concerned individuals, working collaboratively with individuals, communities and organizations in the Top End and nationally regarding the NT Intervention and Indigenous rights in general.

Since the introduction of the NT “Emergency Intervention” in July 2007, DARC has been engaging with individuals, communities and organizations in the Top End affected by the “Intervention” Legislation. In more recent months, this engagement has been increased and the following report is a result of those conversations and meetings, as well as a set of hard data obtained through surveys conducted with Indigenous people directly affected by the Legislation.
